2017: when the age of "advertising" is diminished with the adopted currency & recognition called "brand"

damn it all to hecki really become annoyed when Facebook can't keep my post stored as a draft if i haven't posted it yet. This is a BIG weakness by Facebook.what the fuss is all abouti'm sticking my neck out with an opinion clouding predictions of any sort. Early on in my blog writing, developing skills as i applied them: as a disciple of #EdwardSnowden school of thought: be a self-taught expert, uphold moral beliefs for mankind including everybody (avoided being diminished by greed or ego). Edward's quest was for knowledge. He had an unquenchable thirst for learning anything he was interested in, curious about, wanted to learn more about. if inspiration for 2017 is your gamerelax in a comfortable atmosphere, devoid of distractions of any kind: give the spouse free reign on the credit card with the kids for a play land (are there any more of them anymore? aka Chuckecheese paradise for kids and a break for parents). << that's a blog better meant for meanderings.about.ca ... as a light bulb goes off. watch SNOWDENif you want to have a glimpse of the new thermometer and full enlightenment to what is going on in cyber wars, that the traditional media has only sniffed around ignorantly focus on Russian cyber attacks against the US for political posturing.our world has expanded a billion foldas succinctly pointed out by Edward Snowden. I love watching movies that seemingly portray the person behind the persona (also recommend SULLY as well, as the contrast between the 2 movies i watched back-to-back on ANDROID TV.the BRAND phenomenais what everything has come down to. It no longer is what used to be first top of mind when a word came to mind in association with a noun: KLEENEX(tissue paper); XEROX(photocopy|photocopier). We GOOGLE(use GOOGLE search to find what we are looking for, regardless of reason or final objective). Yet we don't APPLE anyone instead of call them on our smartphones.the SOCIAL MEDIA empirehas been formed and is going to rapidly expand. Simply because the reversal of sources has already occurred. No longer are we reading the newspaper or magazine, listening to the radio, or watching television to gain access to what is happening in our world.has anyone NOTICED?that regardless of the media outlet you are surrounded by, they are doing somersaults and handstands all over the ticker message, page footnote, whatever:: they're asking you to FOLLOW them on Twitter almost firstly and all the time. Or, they are attempting to create an organic trending topic without having to FLAG as "advertising" because "viral" supercedes all else (google is not finding me a word close to this, unusual but perhaps not so because i haven't been online for the past month or so, committed to a job that is subpar but pays the bills if not cherished by the heart. Then Christmas was hectic, made even more so with only one day off on Christmas Eve in two weeks (i wondered who i pissed off to be relegated from having to work on Christmas Eve (but off by usually 8 o'clock) then back at er on Boxing Day.i tried to reach out to my COMPANYshow them where they are falling short as a BRAND. I continue to frown and shake my head when the antics of West Jet continues to surge, with many copycats in tow (go GOOGLE Tim Horton's something about making dreams come true YouTube video that followed in WestJet's footsteps by creating a warm and fuzzy video on how they are giving such splendid gifts of televisions and other material things. Saving millions in advertising dollars even offsetting the costs of the gifts, the sharing on the universe via social media catches it afire.traditional ADVERTISING is married to traditional media. I talked about that in that earlier blog a bit. Maybe the realization hadn't fermented yet. As it has now. Traditional ads are dying a fizzling death. MEDIA brands begging for increased followship while barely hanging on their fingertips that, if they fail, will plunge you into the BIG and not-so-BAD universe of SOCIAL MEDIA.by no means a BOTTOMing outcertainly a new measurement of scale, reach and return (or ROI). There were very early adopters of social media who were visionaries in the direction of where this brave new world of walls disappearing and blocks removed. Where everyone and anyone can enter boldly or with trepidation. What everyone will AGREE about is that the central force of news, events, communications has shifted to ONLINE.when every NEWSCAST includessomething happening online. Exponential volumes of content and snippets ready to be clasped by the influencers online (why do grammar and spelling check not add "influencer" as a reference to a person, personality online. where BRAND is kingand anyone can be in the game. There is no distinction between a person, an organization, a corporation or a government. The winner of BRAND becomes the king or the queen (where a woman can be crowned by her spirit and knowledge, evoking trust more quickly than men by observation and not any scientific substance or supporting facts). where an elected PRESIDENTcan tweet policy and engage hostile exchanges with those he should count on. if you want to know what your new president is thinking: just follow him on Twitter, to get it faster than the Evening News or Morning Headline.the manipulation of TRUSTwill continue to be a common thing, more likely to be beyond a cancerous growth. Where the innocent, naive, trusting, home bound, infirm, lonely, lost human existence dwells with alarming rapid growth.where FACT blurs with FICTIONwhen reality and FALSE are blended. We have been trained to read in order to learn. We instinctively want to read something of which information or knowledge we wish to gain. We grew up with news journalism benchmarked credible content by scrutiny on ethics, backed up with facts, the best being unreproachable resource for news, events.streaming LIVE is going to implodeas traditional mediums like television start to join the ranks of the almost eliminated advertising channels, words, hearing. With technical digital engines developed to push that content out to the universe, developing sophistication evolving to glide into the sphere of the influence(r) BRAND who may bless them with a #RT, a read, and/or blessedly a share, their comments shrine built from within and without.PERSONALITIES read or visualizedby anyone, anywhere, any age, any country, any language, any religion, any education can rise to become the relegated status of SOCIAL MEDIA SUPER STAR.SOCIAL MEDIA SUPER STARsare the INFLUENCE, VOICE, MESSAGE of what the masses want to hear, read or see. Almost invisible, they can be beyond a murmur of voice to a clout of opinion, expression and resonance with the universe. COMPANIES will be exposedfor viral manipulation currently embraced and not recognized as sophisticated marketing, with visionary digital markets at the helm. Art directors continually challenged to not only make the BRAND website pleasing to the eye, but also welcome to curiosity to click, tempting to learn more about, less distracting because blinking has been removed (avoiding the annoyance causes the visitor to depart).psychoGRAPHICs | demoGRAPHICsexpertise will emerge as a viable consultancy sought after. Right behind it or better hand in hand would be to engage, if not employ, a lead psychologist counsel created. the MIGHTIEST will survivewhen they realize that theatrics and tricks will end up diminishing any credibility as people online become more SAVVY with where they place their TRUST. The BRANDs that will win, are those easily trusted. Clear RESONATORS will winnot likely representing a group, organization or company, but a person who encompasses the very singular banner of trust. The visionary committed to the amazing ability that communicating online allows.TRUST: the currency of NOWwhere the compensation is like the old term of CONTRA. Where an opinion that matters is worth that of a product, service or recognition. the MORAL of the STORY people, owners, executives, marketers begin to acknowledge this increasing trend. Rethink your strategies. Align yourself with brand ambassadors that add value and class.AVOID tricks and manipulationsto only be uncovered as such. Remember, people are smarter and smarter every day they're online. As traditional media continues to reference social media as the originator of the source, gimmicks and tricks uncovered will severely dampen any momentum once people whom others trust, expose them as so.COMPANIES try to create #hastagsthat matter, are exposed for trying to create trending topics which they can capitalize on, fueled by paid promotion, to trick others into thinking they are popular online. Not nearly as SAVVYbecause they have not yet recognized that they earlier influence BRAND of person is who they may want to consider replacing your marketing executives and dismantle that costly team and team who have limitless costs.SELFLESSNESS out arms EGO greed, corruption, violence, terrorism, untruths, cyber attack, hack, money. The knowledge a gift to others without purpose of gain.
